About Me

I'm an operations professional with 3+ years of experience in coordinating teams, managing
budgets, and building processes that actually work. I like digging into data, spotting what's
broken, and fixing it — whether that's a staffing gap, a reporting blind spot, or a workflow that
slows people down. I'm looking for a role where good operational thinking translates into real
impact.
